Job description

Location : Remote. Type : Full-time. Salary : Competitive. About NRTH: NRTH isn't another fintech. We're building the silent engine behind modern business cash flow. We automate Direct Debit collections, payroll, and supplier payments for UK businesses so founders never have to chase an invoice again.

Our mission is simple: turn every invoice into a one-time Direct Debit and put late payments to bed for good. We're backed by experienced founders with deep fintech and technology backgrounds, building what's next in the payments space. The Role: This isn't a partnerships role.

The Role

It's a movement. We're looking for a Partnerships & Growth Manager who's scaled fintechs in the UK before, understands the payments landscape inside out, and knows how to turn strategy into growth. You'll be responsible for forming partnerships that fuel NRTH's growth engine.

Accountancy firms, recruitment platforms, SaaS providers, marketplaces.

You’ll know how to identify them, close them, and turn them into long‑term revenue streams. You’ll be the face of NRTH's expansion, helping us shape how businesses in the UK move money, manage cash flow, and grow with confidence.

What You'll Do

• Build strategic partnerships with businesses that touch payments, invoices, payroll, or suppliers.
• Develop growth strategies that scale adoption across the UK market.
• Lead outbound partnership campaigns and drive lead generation through networks, events, and ecosystem plays.
• Collaborate with founders on go‑to‑market plans and positioning.
• Identify and negotiate commercial agreements that expand NRTH's reach.
• Help define and refine NRTH's brand presence across fintech, accounting, and business networks.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in a UK‑based fintech, ideally during its scaling phase.
• Deep understanding of the UK payments ecosystem (Direct Debit, Open Banking, BACS, Faster Payments).
• Strategic mindset paired with hands‑on hustle.
• Strong network in fintech, accounting, SaaS, or SME ecosystems.
• Ability to sell vision as much as product.
• A self‑starter who thrives in fast, ambitious startup environments.

Why NRTH

You're not joining a company. You're joining a culture shift. You'll be helping to solve one of the biggest issues in UK business: late payments.

You'll shape how money moves between businesses.

And you'll be part of a founding team rewriting how the UK gets paid. This is one of those roles people talk about years later. The moment you joined something before the world caught up.
